That was the toughest defensive play aginist us all season including the Championship. Great job. Try to go a little easier on us next year

We had one match where the straight-line autonomous worked perfectly. We were on red, and about a second after autonomous started, we hit the back corner of a shooter opposite us, causing it to swing about 90 degrees. It then proceeded to shoot 10 balls at the stands, which eventually made the match for us.

ok. I have a great Auto storie. It was at atlanta. Im not sure wat match it was but it was great. So here it goes. Our programmers for 1390 said they fixed auto mode. Boy were they wrong. It was supposed to go forward and shoot at the target. But instead when the match started it went forward about a foot and did doughnuts for the rest of the 5 seconds. We were laughing and confused at the same time. But it gets better. Im not sure y but we had to do that match again. Well the drivers didnt even touch the auto. cuz they didnt have time. They just took the bot off the ramp and put it into starting position. So the match started once agin. But instead of the doughnuts it went forward (like it was supposed to do) and then it drove our ball pick up system bacwards y!!!!. We still dont no. But we think our programmers might of created artificial intelligence. lol.
